We're Taya and Lucy, two sisters from London and the founders of Nashi Pear Juice. Our story starts in two different places ....

Taya's story

I had just moved to Sydney and was trying to balance everything - making new friends, settling into a new job, keeping up with exercise (because that’s what everyone does there!), and exploring an entirely new country. It was magical, but overwhelming. Then my friend Ella mentioned Korean Pear Juice. I laughed and said something like, “If a real hangover cure existed, surely we’d all know about it by now!”.

I was wrong ... it quickly became a must-have for my nights out - I wouldn’t go out without it. In fact, none of us would. Whether it was a weekend away, after-work drinks or going to the footy, we’d always make a point of getting some pear juice beforehand.

Two years later, it was time to move back home (we all come back eventually!). I stuffed my suitcase with as much pear juice as it could hold - not to share, but to make the most of my weekends back home. Then one day, I gave some to Lucy. I didn't think much of it until I got a text from her the next day .... 'i feel a million dollars'.

A few weeks later we started talking about it. I’d run out of my stash, and that’s when the idea hit us: let’s bring it to the UK ourselves.

My friends in Australia laugh when I tell them what I’m doing now… but here we are!

Lucy's story

Last year, I was training for the London Marathon and juggling nights out while trying to stay on track with my training. I was finding this pretty hard, not helped by the fact that, since getting older, I’d been feeling less than fresh after just a couple of drinks.

One evening, after a particularly rough night and a subsequently poor run, Taya handed me some of her so-called “miracle pear juice” and insisted I give it a try.

The next day, I woke up feeling surprisingly good - almost like I could take on a marathon right then and there (though realistically, probably not). From that moment, I was hooked, just like Taya.

One night at the pub, we were laughing about how obsessed we’d become with pear juice, and before long, the idea of starting a business selling it didn’t seem so ridiculous. We couldn’t find a reason not to do it… and that’s how it all began.

So here we are - two sisters, a LOT of pear juice, and a dream to share our love for it with the world. We can't wait to see what you get up to with your tomorrows!
